Databarracks Helps More Customers Achieve High Availability and Reliable Disaster Recovery with NetApp Storage
London, 2 March 2009:
Databarracks, the leading provider of secure online backup
services, today announced that the company is expanding its
high-availability and DR infrastructure based on NetApp®
(NASDAQ: NTAP) storage. As a result, Databarracks is able to
improve its service to clients and enable more customers to benefit
from the inherent advantages of highly reliable, high-performance
NetApp storage. NetApp provides the storage backbone for
Databarracks service offerings, which range from fully managed
online backup through to hosted SAN replication and disaster recovery, in both physical and virtual
environments. Since the installation of NetApp storage
infrastructure over a year ago, the company has enjoyed zero
downtime across all of its systems. The Databarracks NetApp
infrastructure now comprises approximately 350TB of reliable disk
storage.
Peter Groucutt, Managing Director at
Databarracks, said: "2008 brought huge growth for Databarracks and
2009 is already shaping up to be a record year for our managed
online back-up and virtual disaster recovery services. With the
speed of business today, it is simply not acceptable to have a
delay in the return of data to our customers, and NetApp helps
provide recovery times for our service that are amongst the fastest
in the industry."
Jeremy Moeder, IT Manager at Aegis and client
of Databarracks, said: "After all our staff had lost access to
their accounts I needed Databarracks to perform a full restore of
our Email server and I was very impressed with the speed of their
service. Databarracks' engineers had our data ready to be restored
to our systems when I finished building our server. I am happy to
continue trusting our daily backups to them as I know they only use
cutting-edge and the most reliable technology on their
systems."
Nick Thurlow, vice president of Sales, EMEA,
NetApp, said: "Data backup and disaster recovery are often mission
critical for many organisations. NetApp is proud to be able to
support Databarracks in its quest to provide its clients with an
outstanding customer experience with storage solutions that are
fast and efficient and secure."
